Communication Extra

Have your say on early ideas for a future NDIS support coordination and connection service.

Support Coordination and Connections is coming in 2028 and the service is intended to change the way that participants currently receive support coordination services, aiming to be easier to access, more consistent, and more responsive to their needs.

There are no changes now.

📅 You need to have your say by 2 October 2026.

NDIA want to hear your views on:

👉🏼 what the new service should do

👉🏼 how it can be delivered

👉🏼 how we can make it as accessible and safe as possible

👉🏼 how we can help you understand, access and coordinate supports.

It is very interesting that both Communication Extra and Deaf Australia share the same birthday of 1st June, but 34 years apart!
